Explanation:

It is given that,

Weight of the rock in air, W = 110 N

Since, W = mg

m=\dfrac{W}{g}

m=\dfrac{110\ N}{9.8\ m/s^2}

m = 11.22 kg

We need to find the apparent weight of the rock when it is submerged in water. Apparent weight is equal to the weight of liquid displaced i.e.

M=d\times V

d is the density of water, d=1000\ kg/m^3

V is the volume of rock, V=0.00337\ m^3

M=1000\ kg/m^3\times 0.00337\ m^3

M = 3.37 kg

The apparent weight in water, W = m - M

W=7.85\ kg\times 9.8\ m/s^2

W = 76.93 N

So, the apparent weight of the rock is 76.93 N. Hence, this is the required solution.

Leno4ka [110]

Well, we usually assume that the resistance of a circuit component
is constant and doesn't change.  But the truth is that for anything
that conducts current, its resistance always increases somewhat
when it warms up. 

For things like light bulbs, electric toasters, space heaters, electric
stove burners, the heat coils in a blow-dryer ... anything that's
designed to be really hot when it's doing its job ... the resistance
of those things increases significantly when they come up to their
operating temperatures.

What is an electric motor? Explain its operation.
tatyana61 [14]
An electric motor is an electrical machine that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy.

Electric motors work on the principal of the interaction between magnetic field electr-magnetism. A loop which is carrying the current is placed in a magnetic field. The loop will experience a torque. The torque starts rotating the coil and the propellers start to rotate when the current passes through the loop.

What causes a satellite to move tangentially to a circular path?
yawa3891 [41]

Explanation : We know that two forces acting on the satellite.

The speed of the satellite and the force of the gravity on the satellite then the result , the satellite moves around the earth in a circular motion.

A satellite to move tangentially to a circular path, while revolving around the circular path because the centripetal force is acting on it.

So, we can say gravity is responsible for the motion of the satellite in a circular path.
